Originally posted by RogueI'm not a fan of the running-off-to-Vegas or going-to-the-courthouse way around it. It's a great way for other people, but I actually want a full wedding with a reception if I'm going to do this shit.

Brandon's teen-aged sister was pressured to just get married in her pastor's office because she and her daughter were living with her would-be husband already and were told that if they were planning on doing that they had to sign some celibacy agreement. Apparently they couldn't last two weeks and were worried about being all the gossip in their little church community. When we finally had the wedding up in Washington (at Bran and Sara's mom's insistence and all out of her pocket, at that), it was technically a one-year anniversary vow renewal and everyone up there treated it like a joke. Those who showed up, ate their sandwiches, cut the cake early, and left. The wedding and reception was over in under two hours. It was worse than the shit-show in Gogol Bordello's "American Wedding" video. No one danced and exchange all the white lace with brown burlap.

I don't really want to break the bank here, but I also don't want... that.

We're two years out, and we haven't picked any venues, but we've hired a band and hair/makeup person so far.

You should bring back everyone to the board!

I just bugged FX about the board a few moments ago actually. Most of us from the old Petaluma gang drifted and went our separate ways as folks are want to do. I'll ping some of the other folks though. Made the mistake of reading through my old posts, dear god there is some cringey shit.
